Alex Rios tripled home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and the White Sox beat the Indians 5-3 Tuesday in Cleveland.

Cleveland closer Chris Perez (0-1) yielded a leadoff single to Paul Konerko, who was replaced by pinch runner Brent Lillibridge. After A.J. Pierzynski fouled out, Rios lined a ball over the head of second baseman Jason Kipnis that rolled all the way to the wall in right-center as Lillibridge easily scored.

Rios scored on a fielder’s choice, beating the throw home from Kipnis, who fielded a ground ball hit by Alexei Ramirez.
